LB's are ruining the pvp.

I think LBs are more of a problem in frontlines. I counted 8 Bahamuts that pounced on my alliance all in unison for ~20k damage each

I just don't believe one shot mechanics should exist, especially when there's zero ability to really react to them. Getting one shot by a samurai I didn't even directly attack is just asinine. I've mostly avoided the annoyance by playing BRD, but its still frustrating. Honestly I think DRG is the only legitimate LB for the DPS because you can actually react to it. WHM LB is just....lawl broken.

I disagree on that. SMN (and somewhat WHM)is now finally THE Job that will finally break this monotone Group Slaughter fir good, where everyone just tries to overpower each other trough numbers, forcing them to actually think and pull off strategies or get obliterated by a handful of SMN.

If anything, we need more People playing SMN in Frontlines.

Nothing like being 100% HP and then just dying and not knowing what killed you. Such skill, so much fun....not.

Having LB's in pvp was a mistake.

I don’t know man…

Git gud?

To un-reactable LB's? Ok sure. How about instead square enix does the correct thing and removes any and all one shot mechanics? Or at the very least make all LB's have an audio queue with a charge time....ya know kinda like how overwatch does it so you can REACT to it.

Honestly, I'm 1 star away from plat 1 and I don't even want to play anymore. The LB's take no thought, effort or skill and WHM's literally get the most broken LB in the game every single engagement. If WHM doesn't get hotfixed/nerfed in the patch Tuesday then SE has shown that they care nothing about pvp and its just going to be this pointlessly broken mode where ranked may as well not be a thing.

I'm honestly not sure why they thought the instakill on SAM's LB was necessary because Chiten already causes a significant vulnerability debuff that would make the LB deal 30K unguardable damage.

The only LB that outputs more AoE damage then that through personal buffs/debuffs is DRG's (Which can do 37.5K under Life of the Dragon but is guardable).

If Square wants to keep LB's in PvP they need an audio and visual effect to showcase them being used otherwise they will remain annoying as you cannot always pay attention to the entire enemy teams LB bars 24/7

I want to point out that originally in PVP, the jobs had no unique LBs. all DPS had basically braver, tanks had damage reduciton and healars had well healing. I believe they added unique LBs into to pvp for each job to make them unique and stand out. IF they didnt have a LB in pvp ti be jsut a who can out button mash the opponent. A well timed LB can turn the tides of a fight

I think they did that because if you could guard samurai's LB it would be the most useless LB in pvp. Its basically a do or die limit break. you either kill the opponent with a well timed ult, or you made a fatal error and die. Why the one shot has to be used when chiten is on the enemy. But 99% of the enemies will be smart and see a samurai using chiten and jsut ignore them or use a miracle of nature to hard counter a samurai.

[Mercury_Grey]

I have to agree with your point. Not only that samurai LB isn't as instant as some p eople realize. You can stun a samurai during theri LB start up when they go into their Iaido stance. You can miracle of nature a samurai and cancel their LB. I have had some smart and faced a lot of good WHM who can tell when to use thier miracle of nature to hard cancel a LB naimation, or to save a team mate
